Growing plants from seed is an affordable and effective way to produce healthy vegetables, herbs, flowers, and other plants. Seedling trays make the process easier by providing individual cells for organised sowing, root development, watering, and transplanting.
1. Choose the Right Seedling Tray
Choosing the right cell count depends on how many seedlings you want to grow and the amount of space available.
EazyAgro offers two practical options:
- 128-Cell Seedling Tray: Ideal for growing a manageable number of seedlings with more space per tray cell.
- 200-Cell Seedling Tray: A great option when you want to maximise the number of seedlings in a compact growing area.
Both trays are made from durable polystyrene (PS) and feature individual cells designed to support consistent root development and easier transplanting. (Eazy Agro Australia)

2. Prepare the Growing Medium
Fill each cell with a lightweight, well-draining seed-starting mix. Avoid compacting it too tightly, as young roots need moisture and airflow.
Moisten the growing medium before sowing.
3. Sow Your Seeds
Place seeds into each cell at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Cover them lightly with growing medium and water gently.
Avoid using a strong stream of water, as it can move seeds or wash away the growing medium.
4. Provide Light, Water and Airflow
Once seedlings emerge, provide sufficient light and maintain consistent moisture.
Keep the growing medium moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage and airflow are important for maintaining healthy seedlings.
If seedlings become tall and thin, they may not be receiving enough light.
5. Monitor Seedling Growth
Check your trays regularly and remove weaker seedlings if multiple plants emerge in the same cell.
Healthy seedlings should develop:
- Strong stems
- Healthy green leaves
- Steady growth
- Well-developed roots
6. Harden Off Before Transplanting
Before moving seedlings outdoors, gradually introduce them to outdoor conditions. Increase their exposure to sunlight and outdoor temperatures over several days.
This helps reduce transplant stress.
7. Transplant Your Seedlings
When seedlings have developed healthy true leaves and a strong root system, they’re ready to move into the garden, greenhouse, or larger containers.
Carefully remove each seedling from its cell, avoiding unnecessary root disturbance, and water after transplanting.
